Water is a byproduct of burning fat.


Yes, but the only part of the fat that transfers to the water is the hydrogen, which weighs just slightly more than nothing (perhaps TFA covers this... I didn't read it...)

It's only Hydrogen... But it still needs to go somewhere. Oxygen comes in to carry away the Hydrogen as water--you can't urinate Hydrogen.


You can urinate other things than water though, some others of which contain hydrogen.


Sure, my point is just that the carbon outweighs the hydrogen ~6:1.
